That is incorrect.
Following an ATRT recommendation, the Board approved compensation at it's Dec 8, 2011 meeting (http://www.icann.org/en/**groups/board/documents/** resolutions-08dec11-en.htm#3<http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/resolutions-08dec11-en.htm#3>). US$35,000 per Director plus $5,000 for being Chair of a Board Committee. There is a list of which Directors have chosen to accept the compensation and which refused at http://www.icann.org/en/** groups/board/ce/voting-list-**14mar12-en.htm<http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/ce/voting-list-14mar12-en.htm> .

I'm in agreement with Tijani here and for the very reasons he outlined.
Lord knows reducing the burn for a day would have been helpful in a very personal way. But I think a public board meeting at least 3 times a year sends a very important signal to the community and gives all of us a chance to read 'body language' or even witness a voluble dissent when matters come to the vote.
Yes to continued formal Board committee reports. But I would err on the side for format like the ALAC's; highlights only and keep it to 5 minutes, tops.
@Sala, other than a recent grant of a stipend to the Chair, ICANN Board members DO NOT get paid. Not even a a stipend! I am on record in support for payment/stipend. Way too much time is required to work effectively for no compensation. And it not's because of affordability.
Here's my fundamental problem with that posture of non-compensation. It undermines the diversity objective by effectively reduces the pool of prospective Board members from places like where I live. A very effective non-intrusive barrier to entry.

Dear Folks,
there is currently some discussion amongst the Board and SO/ACs, about the Friday session at ICANN meetings. The sessions starts at 8:00 with Board Committee Report, then continuing with SO/AC Chair Reports and then the ICANN Board Meeting. Traditionally, this has been poorly attended and rather boring to sit through.
There is discussion whether this could be replaced with written reports to be filed on the ICANN Web Site, thus shortening the ICANN week by one day. Any note of thanks would take place in the Thursday afternoon Public Forum & Wrap up.
The response I have provided so far, is that whilst I am not against having our ALAC report published instead of spoken -- for those of you who have attended, I have kept my spoken report to less than 3 minutes but for some, the reporting is really tedious and long --, I am concerned that this would shorten an already packed week. In particular, the ALAC Executive Committee meets on Friday afternoon and this is the time when we have access to the CEO, COO, CFO etc. This is the time when we can really interchange with Senior ICANN staff. I am therefore concerned that ICANN not having a morning session on Fridays would mean our afternoon session would be scrapped too.
Also, in San José, we also used the Friday morning for LACRALO capacity building, so this day was needed.
I'd be interested in your point of view, so that I can relay it to the Board members who have asked me my point of view.
Kind regards,
Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond ALAC Chair
